Talking with Todd M. Johnson
I’m excited to introduce you to Todd Johnson today. He’s a fellow Minnesotan who pens legal suspense–very good legal suspense. I’m currently in the middle of his sophomore release, Critical Reaction, and I don’t want to put it down. While Bethany House is his publisher, I believe his books have a much broader appeal than the Christian market. Todd, thank …
Crossroads
I’ve been standing at a crossroads lately. There are many road signs, many different directions to choose from. Wait; Edit Capturing Beauty; Get a paying job; Polish the Brooks series; Start a new story.

An Emotional Miss Saigon
I went to the Ordway last night knowing little about the pop opera, Miss Saigon, but having seen it now, it’s a show I won’t soon forget. It’s no wonder that it is the 12th longest running musical on Broadway. Set in Vietnam during the American occupation (1975 – 1978), the story begins with tragedy. Kim (Manna Nichols) has lost …
